"Got this to solve the rotting core support issue on my 98 F-150. Item was received quickly. I painted it with chassis saver and then white body paint. Removing the old support took a few hours but dropping this one in took half that time. Literally an amazingly perfect fit. The metal itself was badly wrinkled at the bends more so than the original. However you ll never see it once installed unless you look."posted by: 135boom on January 10, 2015

"This radiator support was an adaquate replacement but it did not fit easily with the hood latch and support. Also one or two of the bolt inserts stripped out and without taking the part off the car repair is too difficult to bother."posted by: sk45 on July 2, 2014

"It was a reasonably priced support and the shipping was free. Fit wasnt great. It generally had holes in the right place but wasnt a perfect match. Couldnt get the bumper on tight enough against it and the grill didnt fit quite right. In the process of installing it one of the permanently mounted nuts spun loose and there was no way to get behind it to either hold the nut with Vice-grips or replace it with a real nut.Does the job though and was as much as I wanted to spend on the car."posted by: r-2 on November 24, 2013view all 3 reviews

"Radiator support is a great fit and the ease of installation was nice. All mounting points lined up properly once the frame work was complete."

"Perfect match even down to the taped over holes of the original. I also bought the hood and this was better strength than the hood. Just sprayed it the color to match the car and bolted right on. No adjustment necessary."posted by: on September 11, 2008

"i have never installed a radiater support before. although it took some head scratching, I had it installed and the front of the trucks lined up in about 6 hours. It looks great."posted by: bc on December 8, 2011view all 3 reviews

"Perfect fit and all the holes were there for all those wiring clips etc. This is steel not aluminum like the original but it does the same job for a hundred or more less. Bolts, nuts and washers holding it together are terrible, the washers actually bent when I tried using them elsewhere. Replace them with your old ones before installing the support."posted by: rod on July 28, 2010

"For something not OEM it does the job well! It is a part you dont get to see but it does a huge job! Good thing for this company or else I would be paying more for parts, or making payments on another car!"posted by: on December 29, 2014

When you want to ensure great engine function for years to come, the best thing that you can do is create a cooling system that will really go the distance. This means choosing the right components for the job - each and every single time. With a great Replacement Radiator Support, then, you'll be able to create a radiator system that really goes the distance with you and your vehicle - guaranteed. How does a radiator support work? Simple. The radiator support is more or less a frame to which the radiator itself is attached. The support attaches to the front of the upper rails, the lower rails, and the right- and left-hand side aprons, from which position it keeps the radiator in an upright position. No matter what your level of automotive expertise, be aware that installing a Replacement Radiator Support is not for the faint of heart - you'll need some serious heavy-duty welding supplies and abilities - so don't be afraid to have this job done in the shop. No matter what, however, a Replacement Radiator Support can be invaluable to any driver, allowing you to cure the damage caused by a front-end collision and safeguard your engine cooling system. Motor hobbyists always want superb sales support while purchasing quality parts for a car or truck. For our valued customers, we run a 24-hour, 7 day a week information and support desk to answer your needs. Everybody hates to pay for shipping, that's why there is FREE shipping for all orders over $50. If you spot a better price somewhere else, give us a call - we always beat any legitimate auto part price.

Responsible for properly cooling your car's motor, a radiator is one of the most essential parts inside your engine compartment. However, your car's radiator is not a standalone part that can protect itself while your vehicle is in constant motion. That is why you need a stable and durable radiator support to keep this part in check. So to help you narrow down your choices when it comes to what radiator support to purchase, we've installed a Replacement radiator support on our 2002 Tahoe to see if it is worth your dollar.

Features

Aluminum construction with black finish

Matches OE specifications

Backed by 1-year, unlimited-mileage warranty

PROS

The part fit exactly like an OEM part. The aluminum support was a perfect match, from the dimensions down to the taped over holes of the original. We didn't have to make any adjustment in order to fit the radiator into the part.

It had all the necessary hardware and wiring clips needed to fit the part.

The Replacement radiator support was surprisingly cheap while still maintaining a certain level of quality.

CONS

Installation took more time than our team had anticipated. We spent close to 6 hours to install and align the part on the Tahoe's front.

Since the part only came with a black finish, we had no choice but to match its color to the rest of the parts under the hood before bolting it right on.

Unlike other radiator supports, this part was made of aluminum instead of steel. Although it performs just as well as steel supports, our team would feel more at ease if the part was made of something more durable.

The bolts, nuts, and washers that hold the radiator support together are poorly crafted. The washers were even close to bending during installation. As a precaution, we simply used our Tahoe's old washers and other hardware before installing the support.

Our say

The Replacement radiator support is an inexpensive alternative to steel supports. Although it is made of aluminum, it still built with highest standard of quality. It has an OE fit and style that rivals most radiator support brands. Overall, the Replacement radiator support is a good replacement part that can effectively and precisely handle your vehicle's radiator.
